24 Nov 2012: posted by the editor - Ireland
One of the main speakers due at a booklet launch in Charlie Byrne’s bookshop, Galway, this evening at 6pm was arrested by the Gardai in relation to ‘criminal damage’ at Shannon Airport.
Peace activist Retired Commandant Edward Horgan was billed to speak with the journalist and broadcaster Harry Browne at the launch of a booklet on US military activity in Shannon airport, entitled Shannon: War & rendition.This launch includes the unveiling of a postcard campaign by the Galway Alliance Against War opposing the transport of “Killer Drones” via Shannon airport.
GAAW spokesperson Niall Farrell said: “Edward Horgan’s arrest is just another act of petty harassment. It will, however, not disrupt the booklet launch in Charlie Byrne’s. It is an absurd situation that deadly weaponry and armed US soldiers travel freely through Shannon airport to foreign countries to carry out acts of criminality and the forces of law and order in this country arrest peace activists on suspicion of committing ‘criminal damage’.”
